It all started when I was looking for a way to store my precious images
and "MKISOFS" didn't
support an --include-list option, and it kind of
blew up from there with the help of Jason Hancock and his CDiso.pm module.

archive2iso takes a directory tree and randomizes the files in the tree to
stripe the files across several ISO files that can be archived
or burned off to a CD.

The intended use is to stripe files across multiple CD/DVD randomly so if one disc is damaged
all the images that were in the same directory will not be lost since files are spread across
multiple disks. The actual files themselves are not split, all files remain in their
original state.

An example of an intended use is where you have a series of valuable vacation photos that
could span 6 CD for all your photos in your collection. archive2iso would spread them out
across the 6 CD's so if 1 of the 6 cd's is lost, you only loose 1/6th of your images.
Which is better than loosing all of them!
